Job description
Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm
Andreessen Horowitz wrote: “software is eating the world.” That
statement is just as true today as it was eight years ago. Software is
embedded in our day-to-day, and few industries are immune. Peek behind
the code and you will find brilliant engineers pushing the boundaries of what
is possible.
That is where Andela comes in. We help engineering leaders
at companies big and small bridge that gap. We are building tools, systems and
processes to connect talent, no matter where they live, with the opportunities
to do great things. To date, we have identified 1,000+ software engineers from
Africa and placed them as full-time, embedded members of development teams at
over 200+ tech companies. Along the way, we have raised $180M from Al Gore’s
venture fund, Generation Partners, Google Ventures, Spark Capital, the
Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative and Serena Ventures.
And we are just getting started.
The accounting intern should be a candidate who is currently
